Movie Review

SWIMFAN (2002)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: Sep 06, 2002; Rated: PG-13; Length: 84 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller; With: Jesse Bradford and Erika Christensen; Distributor: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation

A junior-varsity Fatal Attraction. Erika Christensen (Traffic) gives herself over to the role of Madison Bell, a new student who fixates on earnest swim champ Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford). But he backs out of the affair the moment he dips into it, and so, unfortunately, does the movie. Swimfan is proof that a thriller can be sleekly shot, expertly cast, paced with crisp professionalism...and still be a letdown if its twists and turns hold no more surprise than yesterday's weather report.
